Sister acts as if I were eighteen she is so afraid of my seeing anyone. That she will never marry I am morally convinced, fifteen have already unclear in vain, and fifteen more would unclear with equal success. She is an old granny and rules this establishment with a rod of iron. Mamma is to be my guardian and when I am eighteen her office eases and I have entire control of my allowance for three years (or till I marry, if such an event should happen before I am twenty-one) and then of course I have my regular income. unclear and his Mamma sailed in the Ville de Paris on her return trip, it is perfectly splendid to have them out of the country, I should think that that perfect knight (grey haired and round shouldered) would begin to feel small; I wonder what he thinks about the "mesalliance" now. Sheffy in my opinion is stark mad, his actions are to say the least eccentric. In a recent letter (Sister has refused him over and over and over again) he magnanimously proposes to settle his property on his daughters and devote his life to amusing and entertaining Sister, who he styles "an invalid" Sis nearly tore her hair she was so furious. In Paris he wrote Mamma that if we would only let him come and see us a little every day in Paris, he would never mention the word matrimony, and then he concludes the letter by saying that he can't write further for he has just cut off the top of his thumb. I have had a visit from Robby Dickey whom I do not fancy; (I have not seen him since he was here four years ago, and he behaved so at Mrs Howes) all the girls chime to the one everlasting tune Robby Dickey and I'm sick of it. He has very large features indeed, and a thick complexion, he is a very good boy I believe.
